Sheffield Wednesday's player of the month for January.
Btec Kiefer
Paterson and Moore would have terrorised defences.
Patterson for me was always better playing behind the striker but was certainly capable on the right or through the middle.
Given his age and his versatility think we made a mistake letting him go
Big fan of a lumper up front
Paterson was a good lad who always got stuck in
says more about the standard at sheff wed
Great servant,character , all rounder , does a job , handy on the bench , what's not to like , probably a wage reduction move , if we play a lone striker ,whcih is likely it has to Moore as he has better attributes , miss him though .
Top scorer for a promotion side, versatile, always gave his best for the team, was a bit of a personality and could have cured our right back problem - poor business by us selling him, especially at that price.
If we were going to improve we needed better.
However i wish we had him for the relegation battle ahead.
I liked Patto, great character and could play in a number of positions, it was all good
BUT
if we were serious about being a side challenging for promotion, he was not the answer to any of the questions
Time to stop lamenting the transfer of an average player.
What is it with Cardiff City fans and triers?
Non, je ne regrette rien.
he would be more than useful now
Its not the time to play our way out of the bottom ten , get stuck in , get some wins and get up the table
Pretty pretty keep ball has its place but let's get to 50 points first
Could have done a job for us in midfield , centre back , right back too
Bad move in letting him go
there's a middle ground between the turgid football we've seen for the last 2 years and "pretty pretty keep ball" (a term that really shows your age :hehe:). It's a shame we don't have paterson scrambling in some shite goal from a scrappy corner anymore, his 5 goals a season is definitely what we're missing
Paterson is a below-average Championship player. Sheffield Wednesday is a below-average Championship team. Who ****ing cares if he's their player of the month?
He would have done a better job up front than Glatzel
He would have done a better job than Bacuna at full back
He would have done a better job at DM than Ralls
He would have done a better job at centre back than Flint
And he probably would have done a better job on the wing than Hoilett
He knows his limitations and makes the absolute most of his strengths.
And he’s got a pair of bollocks. Hard to come by in this team at the moment.
All depends what kind of wage he was on. Rightly or Wrongly Harris hardly used him so at the time it made sense to get him off the wage bill.
If he was such a brilliant player how come only cash strapped Sheffield Wednesday were interested? If he was Championship standard in every single position surely there would be a huge clamour for his signature?
As someone who's had to endure Paterson on the wing, no he's not a better winger than Hoilett, it was embarrassing. Paterson has also shown none of the required attributes to be a good centre back or central midfielder. He was effective up front as a novelty act, but he was soon figured out by other defences (in fact he was best utilised behind the striker)
He played centre or right sided midfield for most of our Championship promotion season and got 10 goals in a side that got automatic promotion with 91 points ! He then got shunted up front because we didn't really have another goal scoring forward and did more than ok. He is a victim of his own enthusiasm and hard work. If Ralls and Bacuna put in half the amount of effort that he did, we wouldn't be languishing in lower mid table as we are currently
When he played on the right we were characterised by time wasting tactics and lumping the ball forward, its no surprise that our excellent early season performances became turgid hoofball affairs once he was introduced on the right.. He was a good nuisance, but he's showed nothing to suggest that he could play the role Ralls did or still does. I was a unclear on that was what I was trying to get at when saying he couldn't play in midfield, but thought it was implied as the person I was replying to specifically mentioned Ralls. By the time we'd sold him, Paterson was almost completely ineffective and having a strop if he was brought off. He's a character and he works hard, but he was almost certainly on good money as one of Warnock's favourites and exactly the kind of player we need to be moving away from if we want to watch football where the ball's on the floor for more than 10 minutes a game
Lamenting Ralls whilst bigging up Paterson's contributions in the promotion season is a strange one considering Ralls was a key part of that side, starting 37 games and playing the full 90 in all but one, with a hamstring injury the only thing keeping him from playing in the remaining games (coincidentally that spell included that brief wobble against Sheffield United, Wolves & Villa). By contrast, Paterson started 23 games, playing over 1,000 fewer minutes than Ralls. Surely if Paterson was this great midfielder, he'd have played more than the apparently work shy Ralls?
Also, Paterson's current side are one of the few below us in the table, which surely refutes your point that we wouldn't be languishing where we are if the almighty Callum Paterson were still in the side?
We would be better off with him, having lost Glatzel.
